Giants’ ‘sudden player’ can quiet Rodgers — and pound Packers

The dream scenario for the Giants is Aaron Rodgers on the sidelines, frozen with helplessness and anxiety, watching the kid run the rock over and over and over again.

On the biggest and coldest day of his young NFL life, Paul Perkins, with help from mentor Rashad Jennings, appears primed to warm the hearts of Giants fans who fondly remember Ottis Anderson and the night the Bill Parcells Giants rendered Jim Kelly and his explosive Bills spectators for 40 minutes, 33 seconds of Super Bowl XXV.

Anderson, who was the game’s MVP, rushed 21 times for 102 yards and a TD, and he believes that the best way to upset the Packers is to resurrect the Super Bowl XXV blueprint.
